The rules of home detention would allow Elizalde to continue working during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a sentencing memorandum filed Wednesday, Elizalde\u2019s attorney, Stephen Brennwald, said he was told by a Navy officer that sailors on probation couldn\u2019t remain in the military. The officer also told Brennwald that a maximum amount of time a service member could be on home detention was 30 to 60 days, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImposing a period of probation in this unusual case could, and likely would, be fatal to Mr. Elizalde\u2019s continued service in the Navy,\u201d Brennwald wrote in the memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elizalde has served in the Navy for 17 years. On Jan. 6, 2021, he was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman as an aviation structural mechanic. He traveled from southeastern Virginia into Washington, D.C., that day and joined the crowd outside the Capitol, purchasing a \u201cVeterans for Trump\u201d flag on the way, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elizalde watched and recorded as rioters assaulted Capitol police officers, and he went inside the Capitol building, where he remained for 28 minutes, the documents say. During a December 2021 interview with the FBI, Elizalde said he made a bad decision on Jan. 6, but he viewed it as a historic event that he\u2019d be proud to tell people about in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know when all this is past and gone, ten years from now, twenty years from now, I know people are going to be talking about it,\u201d Elizalde told authorities at the time. \u201cAnd they\u2019re going to be like, \u2018Hey, were you there?\u2019 And I was going to be like, \u2018Yes and here\u2019s my story,\u2019 you know? It was just historical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3207\" height=\"2138\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"In this image from U.S. Capitol Police video, released and annotated by the Justice Department in the Statement of Facts supporting an arrest warrant, David Elizalde, circled in red, appears on security video inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington.\" class=\"wp-image-81767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg 3207w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23093773036301.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3207px) 100vw, 3207px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this image from U.S. Capitol Police video, released and annotated by the DOJ, David Elizalde, circled in red, appears on security video inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (Justice Department via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elizalde was convicted at trial last year of one count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor that carries a sentence of up to six months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. He\u2019s expected to receive his sentence Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Justice Department recommended Elizalde receive three years of probation and 60 hours of community service. The department also asked the judge to sentence Elizalde to 30 days of intermittent confinement, meaning he would be incarcerated during nights, weekends or at other intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a memo filed last month by the Justice Department, U.S. Attorney Michael Graves claimed that Elizalde had not expressed any remorse, and he pointed to Elizalde\u2019s military service as an especially troubling factor in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs an active-duty naval serviceman &#8230; Elizalde was well aware that unauthorized persons do not have the right to enter restricted government grounds or buildings, especially not as part of an angry mob,\u201d Graves wrote. \u201cHis voluntary decision to storm a guarded government building is disturbing in light of his current oath to protect and defend the country and our constitution from enemies, foreign and domestic, and bear true allegiance to the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brennwald argued that Elizalde\u2019s military service and the sacrifices he\u2019s made to serve in the Navy should be reasons that he receive a more lenient sentence \u2014 not a harsher one. The defense attorney claimed Elizalde\u2019s military service meant he sacrificed personal relationships and the potential for a higher salary in the private sector. He also risked his life during multiple deployments, Brennwald wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne can clearly make the argument that someone in his shoes should be held to a higher standard,\u201d Brennwald\u2019s memo reads. \u201cOn the other hand, one must also recognize that he has sacrificed a great deal of his life in service to his country \u2014 and that must certainly counter-balance the first argument.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>This story was produced in partnership with <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvj.network\/\"><i>Military Veterans in Journalism<\/i><\/a><i>.
